July filers

Getting nervous..

It has been over 5 months since the day I filed.. And almost 3 months since I had my fingerprinting done.

I am sorry..but I just feel very lost and I wish we can all find out how far along our files are. I was hoping to travel outside the country in March, but I don't think its going to happen

Anyone feeling the same?

and thanks for reading this... many of my friends (who are born citizens) don't understand what I am going thru right now.. they are so lucky.

I understand your frustration.

I think the backlog has caught up with you later rather than sooner. I waited over 4 months for receipt and fingerprinting, whereas you went ahead more quickly, only to meet the "bulge" later on. They have warned that anyone filing after June may face well over a year's processing time. It's frustrating, because this time last year we'd probably all have had our interviews and be waiting for oath ceremonies.

Nothing we can do but try to be patient

NOA to TSC 26 July 2007

Cheque cashed 19 November

NOA 26 November

Fingerprinting done 17 December

Hope everyone had a nice Xmas and will have a Happy New Year...

Anyways...

I was looking at the primaries website for MD...you have to be registered by january, 22 to be able to vote and there's absolutely no way they will complete my citizenship by then I don't think (unless a miracle would happen)...they would have to schedue interview and oath in pretty much 3 weeks from now and I guess I should have an appointment letter already if that was the case...

Oh well...hopefully I will be able to vote in november

Happy New Year to you too, Churipu !

I gave up hope of being eligible to vote in November 2008 when they issued that 16-18 month processing time estimate.

Everything will depend of the Field/District Office we're attached to from now on.

I saw it mentioned that someone who applied via TSC around 11 July, now has interview scheduled for late January (on another forum) - via Dallas Office - which is probably a big, well-staffed place.

I'm not expecting to hear anything until the summer, earliest, re an interview. I'll keep an eye on the message boards though, it's good to see everyone else's progress. I hope you'll move fast!

speaking of staffing offices, did you notice that many checks from cases filed July-November were cashed in November, do you think it's associated with additional people hired?

Perhaps, but it's probably also a result of decrease in the number of applications received after the fee increase.

Also, at TSC , they seemed to bypass dealing with N400s for many weeks while they concentrated on dealing with an influx of (I think it was) I485s.

If it hadn't been for that additional hold-up we'd probably have ha a shorter wait for cheque cashing.

I had fingerprints done 17 December, but have now been called back for a second "do" because FBI wasn't able to read my fingerprint card. New appointment 22 January. More delay for me! :-(

Hi Tena,

I usually just read posts and don't post myself, but I wanted to let you know that my wife (who had an N-400 receipt date of July 20) just got her interview letter from the NSC. Her interview is set for Feb. 21, at our local office in Chicago. Our timeline is very similar to yours (fingerprints in September), so hopefully your interview letter is coming soon!

I hope everyone get their interview letter soon. It took me 6 months and 2 weeks to get N-400 through. Still waiting for oath ceremony.

Sent N400 on July 25 th.

Received notice from Nebraska on November 1 stating I owed more in fees.

A week later I sent a letter with copy of post office receipt showing that my package was post marked before the July 30th deadline

Towards the end of November i received a letter back stating I didn't owe additional fees and within a short time would receive notice for fingerprinting.

To date...nothing further received.

Biometrics done earlier today in Baltimore! The place was packed though, had 20 people ahead of me, so it took over an hour and a half but it was a breeze afterall. They gave me the book with the CD with the civic lessons about the US to prepare fore the interview. Now back to waiting.

My wife did her biometrics in Baltimore yesterday as well, got there over an hour early and was in and out fairly quickly. Someone told her that they were trying to get the interviews/oaths done as soon as they can so that the new citizens can vote in the Primaries. That means pretty quick, because the Maryland Primaries are February 12th. Study Hard, interview may be sooner than you think!

So much for Baltimore trying to speed things up...Today's the last day to register to vote for the primaries in MD...so that means they are definitely out of question for me since I didn't hear a sound from Baltimore... Not that it came as a shock anyway...

Man I wish this thread was more alive with more news to report...

I keep checking your non-updated time line . I we are behind you at Baltimore. I also hope you hear something soon, as that would give me an idea about our case.

I'm so pissed off to see there are people who filed months after july 2007 who already have interview dates!!#######!!!

Kud, hopefully I will have some news sooner rather than later...I wouldn't count on it too much though...

i think time of interview depends first on service center and then mainly on Local office, so you should only worry if people who filed after you and get interviews at your Field office before you https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=of....office_type=LO

once you know your local offfice you can check what are they processing here: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp

Dear July filers, please post your news, it would help all of waiting people, thank you!
